Biokinetics (Porter Ricks album)

Biokinetics is the first album by the electronic music duo of Thomas Köner and Andy Mellwig known as Porter Ricks.

The 2012 reissue by Type Records utilized a more conventional jewel case packaging, with cover art consisting of a cropped 1889 photograph of a solar eclipse by Carleton Watkins.

[3] Biokinetics has been variously described as a realization of the Porter Ricks (and Chain Reaction) aesthetic and the duo's masterpiece.

Jonny Mugwump of FACT wrote that the album is a product of a fertile experimental period in techno and an advancement of Koner's atmosphere-driven sound.

Reviews typically note the bass and extensive palette of textures as key components of the album's unique sound, and often regard the bookending tracks "Port Gentil" and "Nautical Zone" as significant.
